“Plenty of bands have resuscitated post-punk throughout the 2000s and 2010s, but few have done so with the passion that reverberates through Savages’ debut album, Silence Yourself….Given that much of the initial buzz about the band revolved around its electrifying live performances, in some ways Silence Yourself doesn’t provide the full Savages experience, but it offers more than enough to make it a powerful debut that suggests they’ll become an even more distinctive force to be reckoned with over time.” –All Music Guide
